@patrickway11 Looking good Patto 👍

The Rootboot Razor is impressing so far, Faba Beans going in.

@grassrootsag @robbert115 I was wondering the same thing, but perhaps it’s because only 2/3 of the rate of saflufenacil was applied as Voraxor and the trifludimoxazin hasn’t been able to pick up the slack? Label rates would be very interesting.

@robbert115 Were you surprised the Sharpen was stronger than Voraxor & why?

Affinity Force (carfentrazone)

@JamesConsi @SipcamAus Wow. Is that fleabane James?

Reviewing some pre harvest jobs for some guys Sledge + Paraqat pre harvest of lentils right, Pqt only left. On label right, off rate left, stay on label and protect our markets! *not my client

Now detecting populations of strobilurin resistant Septoria tritici in all four corners of my patch.

Fleabane from SA cropping paddock survived 4L/ha paraquat! Other cases being tested. Dead plants = our susceptible standard killed with same rate. ⁦@DMAg_consultant⁩ ⁦@agrobaz⁩

@ZetifiOfficial @TimNeale1 Good news. Do you have any info you can send about the new version?

@GusCalder @TimNeale1 Magnet mounted with a safety tether fixed to the vehicle if driving on public roads is a common option for our current rover - makes it easy to move between vehicles and machinery. We have a new version on the way that will make safely mounting and transferring even easier. 💪

We've been doing heaps of soil testing over the past few weeks and our @ZetifiOfficial connectivity has made a massive difference for safety and data transfer in the field. If you are in the rural areas and need connectivity then look them up. Just brilliant.

@TimNeale1 @ZetifiOfficial Thanks Tim, I was just curious. Sounds like it’s working well 👍

@GusCalder @ZetifiOfficial Just on the roof using the magnets. Turned it sideways for less wind resistance! Hope that's ok?

@sam_edwards4 @bennettfarming1 🐌🐚💀

@GusCalder @bennettfarming1 I’d rather be fishing but it’s bloody satisfying when you jag a hot day

Snails? Never heard of them 🙄

Might be of interest to those running with low rates of P from “more efficient”products on high calcium, high pH soils on the SYP.. Tread carefully!

@AGlazbrook Good work Gus 👍

23 has been a massive year of learning how to gain efficiency and how to overcome time frames. Happy with how it all went considering the rainfall and increase in size. The war on snails will continue #farming

Good ol’ FTR has taken no time at all to get established after the last fortnight’s rains. Still mainly a problem on roadsides for YP, I first started seeing it in paddocks in early 2022 here I’ll expect a lot more in-paddock for summer 2023-24, so be proactive with control guys!

Looking for seed cleaner recommendations please. *Mainly for cleaning lentils post harvest. *Bonus if we can do cereals too. *Double bonus if we can clean round snails out of canola/barley. What are the “must haves” on a cleaner?

Didn’t realise lentils could be so competitive, good lentil seed on the left versus low vigour seed on the right. Simazine and reflex applied IBS at Caragabal @theGRDC pulse site

@kingswaywelding Great work Nick 👍

Last night at the Industry Leaders Fund awards night our Director Nick was fortunate to be awarded scholarship funding through the ILF. The ILF awards grants to leaders who they believe are up and coming in the industry and can provide benefit to the South Australian economy though education and training. Nick will be undergoing the Transformative Leadership Program through the Adelaide University. These skills will be integral to growing the business and ensuring its prosperity in the future.

Well that’s one to remember… started reaping lentils yesterday on the 13th of September 😬 earliest start to date. And today would mark the earliest we have had to stop from harvest due to fire danger index. 🤔 FDI peeking at 75 today….
